admitted appeared in parenthesis
'gSchreib Knechte''-slaves of the pen.
This new feature seemed to indicate in
tense hatred on the part of the fiery an
archiSt. Nevertheless a reporter pushed
open the door OF the anarchists den at
1920 this morning. and. not without
tremor entered. 1t is passing strange
that one cannot find Most in
lis own office at a time when
he is not engaged in the wholesale con-
sumption of sausage and beer. 1t reads
like ain invention of the enemy, but it is
4 simple fact. At the hour mentioned
two men sat at round table in the
front room. One was Editor Most, and
the other was Julius Schultz, assistant
editor OF the Freiheit. The table was
Uttered with documents and Schultz
was writing rapidly. presumably work
ing on a red-hOt diatribe for tO-day's
issue of the anarchist sheet. Most had a
pen behind his ear, but there was no
other sign of his editorial labors. The
reporter spoke to Most for several
minutes. but the anarchists eyes
were fixed on the sausage and beer.
Every moment hand holding muir
derous clasp-knife cut off a few
inches of the thick sausage and another
hand cIutched first the pitcher and then
the glass. Both the sausage aud the
beer were quickly conveyed to MOst's
mouth. The rapidity of the movement
of Most'S hand and jaw was bewilder-
ing. Between the gulpS sounds came
from MOSt'S hard-WOrked laws in reDlv

would defend him Tuesday. and that he
would be acquitted unless justice were
fiagrantly violated. Also that he felt
quite well. being too much used to
prisons to allow confinement. recent or
prospective. to prey upon his mind.
The reporter backed out. his eyes being
still fixed by strange fascination on
the fast dying heap of sausage and the
diminishing stack OF beer. As the door
closed Most attacked fresh sausage.

REVIVAL OF THE 1IINUET.
A Stately Dance Said to Be Again
Coming into Favor.

There is no doubt" said charming
society matron who had recently re-
turned from Paris. that something has
got to be done if dancing is to hold its
popularity. l became quite interested
in the subject while in Paris. The
matter there is exciting a great deal
of interest, and there is serious talk
of reviving the old minuet. How much
more attractive a ball room would be
with the minuet, the pavOnne and the
gavOtte. instead of the helter-Skelter
waltz and galOp. A few years ago the
Princess de Sagan introduced the hOur
rec at one of her balls. This Is a village
dance. and the sight of eight pretty
women and as many handsome
men gathering about in SabotS.
dressed in village costume. must
have been rather novel one.
l wouldn't advocate such an innovation
as that. but | would like to see the min
net revived. You remember the story
of Marguerite de BOurgOync, who was
forgiven for her terrible crimes because
she danced the minuet better than any
one else in the world. No one would do as
much as that for pretty waltzer, even
if she were capable of etherealiZing the
waltz. The minuet is charming conf
binatiOn of graceful Stateliness and
coquettiShneSS."

FRENCH FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
The Coffin Sprinkled With Holy
Vyater-EIaborate Etiquette.

When a person dies in France his
representatives immediately send out
what are called ''LettreS de faire part

anceS, inviting them TO assist at the
religious service (suppOsing that there

the deceased, writes cOrrespon-

circular generally states that the cor

formed, the nearest relatives are the
immediate followers of the coffin. The
men invariably walk. if they are able
to do so: ladies follow in carriages. A
priest, accompanied by choir
of boys. vested in cassOck and
surplice, ''fetehes" the body. In the
country they go OH foot and chant, but
in Paris they always head the cor
tege in a carriage. The general body
of the followers frequently number
several hundred. 1t is characteristic of

The catafalque is quite monumental,
and is all ablaZe with candles. green
flames rise from tall lampadaireS
placed at the four corners of the cata-
falque. All the chanting power of the
church is brought to bear upon the
service. and professional singers are
also engaged for the occasion.
The second and third class funerals
are also very ornate, but in the next
descent the difference is strongly
marked. Finally we come down to the
coffin made of pine and the severely
plain canOnical service for the dead. At
the close of the service the chief mourn
ers stand near the door of the church to
receive the conventional shake of the
hand from those who have been invited
to the funeral.

TALISMANs OF TWO BEAUTIES
Pretty Ornaments Worn by Lang
try and Potter for Luck.

1t is said that Mrs. Langtry has
lOcket which was given her by the
Prince of Wales and which she looks
upon as sort of talismaH. believing
that il brings her good luck. She Will
never go without it for an instant, and
wears it on a thin gold chain about her
throat night and day. When she wears
a handsome necklace the chain Is re-
moved and the lOCket fastened to the
strings of pearls or diamonds which sur
round the stately white neck. Some
times. however, the actress wears a cos
tune or a necklace with which the
lOcket does not harmonic. and then
she takes it from about her throat
and cOnceaiS ii ia her cOrSage. She is
very particular to wear this princely
gift when she appears for the first time
in new play. belieuIng she would not
be successful were she minus HE tails
mon, 1t is possible that Mrs. Potter has
heard this story, which may or may not
be true. and has determined to try the
same tactics in her own case, for when
she appeared upon the Fifth Avenue
stage as Mrs. LangtrysS successor, and
make her first appeal for support and
COMMUNICATION to her cOutrymen and
women. she wore the Prince of Wales
crest of three feathers, and has worn it
every night since. The prince-as will
be remembered by all those who buy
their gowns at Redfern 's-haS as his
personal and pa rticular crest three feath
ers. crest which the Black Prince
assumed from the arms of the blind old
king of Bohemia, whom he defeated at
PoictierS. When Mrs. Potter went to
London for the first time and was such
~ Oh,
caSiOn gave a recitation before the
Prince and Princess of Wales, and the
heir-apparent, in token of his pleasure
in the performance, sent her a little
pendant. which was a copy of his crest
in diamonds. This Mrs. Potter wore
quite frequently after her return and
naturally treasured af one of the most
valued trophies of the success of her
brilliant London season. She did not
wear it upon the night of her debut in
the English capital, nor at the
first repreSt NATION of "Faustlne
de BreSsier.r under the title of Civil
War but it is said that she happened
to clasp it to her necklace when she
first played LOYAL Love, which was
more successful then any OF her pre-
viOus attempts. Superstition is very
common on the stage. Nearly every
actor and actress has some fetch which
/ brings HIM or her luck. and Mrs. Potter
found that her was the princes gift.
On the occasion of her triumphant
debut here she was careful not to omit
the three feathers. Being dressed as
an ingenue. of course diamonds were
not permissible; but she wore her pend
ant at the back of the necklace instead
of in front, where it looked like a dia-
mOnd clasp, but could be easily dis
cerned by those near the stage as the
famous crest of England'S heir.
